Note:
The manner in which underlying cause of death is coded and classified
was revised in 1999 to reflect changing medical opinion and practice.
The comparability between classification
schemes for this particular cause of death is lower (0.97),
meaning that caution should be taken in drawing specific inferences from comparisons of
mortality statistics over time.

Note:

Age-adjusted death rates are based on age-specific death rates per 100,000 population in specified group. Age-adjusted death rates are computed by the direct method, using as the standard population the age distribution of the total population of the United States for the year 2000.

*: A rate is not calculated when there are fewer than 20 events because
the width of the confidence interval would negate any usefulness for comparative purposes.

The underlying cause of death
is the condition giving rise to the chain of events leading to death. Between
January 1, 1979 and December 31, 1998, the underlying causes of death were classified
in accordance with the Ninth Revision of the International Classification of Diseases
(ICD-9), a coding structure developed by the World
Health Organization. Starting January 1, 1999, causes of death were classified
using the Tenth Revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10).
With each revision there are
differences in classifying the underlying cause of death. Therefore, health statistics
based on one revision are not directly comparable to the other revision without
the use of comparability
ratios.

Prior to rate calculations, death records with race not stated were
randomly allocated to the white and black groups based on the proportion of Michigan
Resident deaths in each of the racial categories for that year. Records
with sex not stated were randomly assigned to male and female (50 percent each).
Records with age not stated were allocated to the age group 85 and over.
